AFFILIATION WITH IASD
Who can become an affiliate?
Non-profit dream organizations all over the world. Wherever you are in
the world, if you have organized yourselves into some kind of dream
association and you subscribe to
IASD’s Ethical Guidelines, you are eligible for affiliation with IASD.
Of course, as an organization you strictly keep your own independence. We
just benefit mutually from each other’s presence.
Why affiliation?
We at IASD (for more information click
here) are of the opinion that as organizations with the one common
goal of wanting to provide a meeting place for all those interested in
dreams and dreaming, we will want to pool forces to make one strong
dreaming community. We all benefit from being connected to each other,
from exchanging information, from being aware of each other’s activities.
Being connected strengthens the whole of the dream movement and thus
benefits people all over the world, be they scholars, therapists, artists
or other interested parties.
What are the concrete terms and benefits of
affiliation?
The terms:
- An affiliated organization contributes annually to IASD’s funding as
follows: an organization with fewer than 150 members: $150; an
organization with 150-300 members: $250; an organization with more than
300 members: $300.
- An affiliated organization signs its agreement with
IASD’s Ethical Guidelines
The benefits:
- An affiliated organization receives a copy of all IASD publications,
notably our journal
Dreaming, and our magazine
Dream Time. Affiliates who contribute $250 receive two copies, and
those who contribute $300 receive three.
- An affiliated organization is listed as such on IASD’s website.
- An affiliated organization is eligible for membership of
E-groups (one representative of the organization per E-group).
- An affiliated organization is invited to propose individuals for
conference sponsorship - this is a grant for attendance of the annual
IASD conference for people who would otherwise not be able to afford to
attend (with the proviso that individuals who apply for this would need
to follow whatever protocols are set out to attain such sponsorship).
- Individual members of an affiliated organization get a starter’s
discount of $25,- when they first become IASD members.
- An affiliated organization is invited to describe itself and its
activities in the
International Pages of IASD’s website.
What are the less tangible aspects of
affiliation?
There are many ways in which we can mutually benefit as we draw towards
each other and have formal and informal ties. Here are just a few:
- A regional or national organization may gain status by being
affiliated to IASD and as such may interest speakers and/or members they
might otherwise not reach.
- IASD becomes aware of the expertise developed in other countries and
regions than it has been in touch with so far.
- Research may be shared, articles exchanged and other information
spread.
- IASD conference speakers may be invited to attend dream gatherings
and conferences elsewhere.
